“2022 was an especially big year for us here at Capital Powersports as we were in our first full year with Kawasaki and Suzuki,” says Dunn. “It was our 10th Anniversary as a dealer with American Honda and we became a 7-time winner of the Honda Council of Excellence. We continued to improve our Google Score rating with nearly 900 reviews with a 4.7 rating… we also held our title as #1 with Yamaha in the district for motorcycle sales, breaking our vehicle sales record with more than 1000+ units sold and then added three new brands!” The “Adventure Store For All Sizes” continues to expand.

“I am very proud of our team who continue to outperform the industry despite the challenges,” concludes Dunn. “They continue building the customer experience to the highest level. We all look forward to even bigger plans going into 2023 with expansion plans and more brand additions in the works!”

LYNX LAUNCHES AT AIMExpo

BRAWLEY ON A CHARGE!

Not every EV dealer was at AIMExpo, so Vanderhall opted to meet the off-road market where they live. “We partnered with our local dealer Young Powersports at the Salt Lake Off-Road & Outdoor Expo to give off-roaders their first in-person look at the all-electric Brawley,” says Dealer Acquisition Specialist Matt Tervort. Mission accomplished as more than 26,000 attendees charged through the Mountain America Expo Center February 24th-25th.

“We had plenty of traffic being located near the entrance. Based on the overwhelming positive response, he suggests dealers flip the switch now! “Don’t miss out on the 2023 production run. Apply now to become a certified Vanderhall dealership and add the industry-changing electric Brawley to your showroom.”

If you were still trying to fight your way through the furry cosplay characters invading the show space in Las Vegas on Friday, Tervort suggests checking out the revamped website and then clicking on the dealer application form before it is too late: vanderhallusa.com/dealer-inquiry-2023

It wasn’t the cooler of free beers that kept us coming by QuietKat’s booth during AIMExpo, honest. Even teetotalers were cheering the Lynx launched at the trade show. “The new Lynx represents the latest in full-suspension electric bicycles from the leader in off-road eBikes,” said QuietKat Marketing Director Michael Mayer. “It is an innovative design that pushes the envelope of style and high-performance for the brand.”

He noted the Lynx establishes a new category for QuietKat, as it takes its proven off-road capabilities and blends it with a café moto style in a fun and powerful ride that is aimed for the discerning user who demands the latest technology and a premium ride, Mayer explains. “Able to tear up the road in style, then go further when the pavement ends, the Lynx is a fully capable off-road technical machine that can tackle the roughest terrain.”

With a blend of on-road/off-road capabilities, the Lynx features a 2-speed, 1000W hub motor with a twist throttle option, 203mm Inverted Mechanical Coil Fork in the front and a Mechanical Coil shock giving 100mm of travel in the back. Highly capable 24x4.5” off-road moto style tires round things out. “The Lynx is part of a new generation of QuietKat integrating IoT technology for remote control, tracking and other smart features…” The Lynx should be hitting dealers late summer 2023 with retail target of $4000.
